Ashton Forbes, a healthcare IT consultant turned UFO/UAP proponent, gained attention for promoting videos claiming Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared due to alien interference, despite evidence debunking the footage. Later, Forbes fell victim to a $3,000 scam involving fake evidence supporting his beliefs, but continued to assert a conspiracy against him.

It’s frustrating that the UAP scene is infested with grifters.

Take away the grifters and the idiots, and there is no UAP scene

It makes sense though, doesn’t it? A community of people that refute reality in favor of what they want to believe, gets taken by people willing to use that against them?

Play stupid games…
